Our Public building.

The public building now being
erected in this city ought to be an
edifce to which our citizens could
point with pride, one that all Puget
Sound might we'll be proud of, and
one that would do credit to the great
government of the United States:
certainly one that will be up to the
demands of the Puget Sound GUS
toms collections district. 1t may not
generally be known that the business
of this district has increased from
$4,000 for the fiscal year of 1886 to
S250,0O0 for the fiscal year of 1887.
Such is fact, however, astonishing
as it may seem. When the bill vas
passed in 1884 appropriating money
for our public building there were
employed in the whole Puget Sound
district 1S persons; now the force is
double that number The value OF
bonded inward foreign goods this
year in the district will exceed $780,
600. There are documented at the
Port Townsend custom house this
year 200 vessels. Bonded business
requires duplicate accounts, neces-
stating largely increased clerical
help. The superficial area of floor
room now occupied by the customs
force in the rented building is great
or than the superficial area of floor
room in the new building in course
OF erection, as per plans adopted.
From the above showing, which is
taken from official statistics, it must
be evident that the new building was
projected on a scale entirely too
small. In five years time it will be
a wing of the main building required.
Such main building ought in size and
general appointments to be not less
thaR seventh in the entire United
States. This is abuadantly warrant-
ed by official figures issued from the
U. s. Bureau of Statistics. For the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1887, they
show that

4 Regency ia Gernmany


1t is not unlikely that before an
other year is passed the empire of
Germany may be governed by a re
gency. 1t is generally known that
Emperor William, who is in the 91st
year, cannot long survive, and that
his son, the crown prince, has an in
durable cancer; but it is not gener-
ally known that Emperor Williams
grandson, Prince William of Prussia,
eldest son of the crown prince, is also
in a very precarious state of health.
4 correspondent of the New York
Tribune describes the condition of
Prince William as follows:
He is suffering in a severe degree
from the same peculiar disease which
carried off the late king of Prussia,
after rendering him completely in
sane during the last few years of his
reign. The malady consists of nev-
er ending succession of abcesses in
that part of the ear situated between
the tympanum and base of the brain.
Tho technical name thereof is OtittiS
media, and the danger is ever pres
ent of meningitis and infaL1ation of
the broin setting in. The disease is
making rapid progress, and there
| seems to be no means available of
preventing it from affecting the brain
at time which may possibly be
somewhat remote, but which may al
| SO be near at hand. liz addition to
this it must be borne in mind that,
unlike his father, his general health
is exeeedingl y bad, and that his left
arm is almost useless, having been
withered since his birth.
In the event of the death or insan-
ity of Prince William, the imperial
crown, on the demise of the old Kais-
er and the crown prince, devolves on
on Prince Williams little four-year-
| old son, and it is difficult to say what
would be the result of the bitter
struggle for the regency that wonld
then occur between the Bismarck
party and the friends of the crown
princess. an able and influential wo
man. The question of the regency
would be further complicated from
the fact that Bismarck has not long
to live. The disease of which the
crown prince is slowly dying is of an
hereditary nature, as his grandmother
the beautiful Queen Louise, of Prus-
sia died of a cancerous tumor in the
region of the heart. DR. Weir, a fa-
nous surgeon of New York City. in
recent operation for epithelial can
Ger, said Of the tobacco theory of its
origin:
This man has confessed to the im-
moderate use of tobacco, but l do not
believe that caused his trouble. Epi-
theliema seems to be contagious.
Horses appear to become infected
with it Two years ago this patient
bit his tongue and this cancer seems
to have developed from that wound.

POPULAR TRIBUNALS. VOL. HI.
BANcRoFT's WORKS, voh xxxv1I

BANCRoFT's WORKS, Vol. XxXvII
With this issue is completed the
description of an epoch which must
forever stand as one of the milestones
of history. 1t was nothing less than
the inconoclasm of law From ma
ture's law, or the law Of the Creator,
men derived that worshipful instinct
which endowed kings and priests, as
the supposed representatives of the
Creator, with sacredness, attached
bot only to their person but to their
commands. So firmly rooted became
this superstition in mems minds,
that when the people assumed SOW
ereignty, they did not cease to trem--
bic before the laws even which they
themselves had made. When forced
from this position by inexorable ne
cessity, it gradually dawned upon
them that no created thing could be
stronger, or higher, or holier than
the power that created it.
Like most great revolutions, the
incipient steps were bloody and often
brutal. 1t was at first a struggle for
ife--a hand to hand compat for
physical existence; later it became a
battle for political supremacy.
When Pastoral California was
reused from her long lethargy by the
cry of gold in the Sierra foothills,
and the primative people struggled
thither and began to pick it up from
the placiers. there was present no
thought of stealing or killing. But
with the thousands presently rushing
in from abroad came some genuine
cutthroats who had to be hanged.
In the cities@crime banded, as in the
Hounds Association, and the San
Francisco Regulators, and then so>
ciety had to band. Law at length
appeared, with some little bluster,
but failed at first to cut much of a
figure. Crime had here its character
lstics, and law was weak and greatly
puzzled. 1t Wanted much and ac-
complished but little. Mobocracy
broke out in places, and the spirit of
hanging by arbitrary tribunals pre-
vailed throughout the whole western
coast.
But it was in San Francisco alone,
IN the year 1856, of which epoch this
volumne treats, that the popular
tribunal principle was openly avowed
by large number of law respecting
and law abiding citizens, represent
ing the intelligence and wealth of the
community, and after calm Gelibera .
tion and firm resistance to the ma
administration of law, finally estab-
lished as fundamental necessity of
free government. Unlike the first,
but with no less sanguinary resolve
to battle for the cause to the fall
sacrifice of life and property, if neces
sGry, it was an almost bloodless revo-
luton. Mind was here supreme,
though backed by the usual instru-
ments of ultimate appeal. Ballot.box

The most critical reader who is

circumstances that combine to make

with wonderful clearness and truth,
